What Professionals are Saying About MT Builders
Geoff Simpson, Partner, CFO | Kaplan Multifamily
“A critical element of a successful development is partnering with a great general contractor. Kaplan began its relationship in 2015 with MT Builders and have had successful projects on multiple deals in the Valley. MT has been on time, under budget, incredibly responsive, and nimble in what could easily be described as a very challenging market. As Kaplan continues to develop in the Phoenix area, MT will be our ‘go to’ general contracting firm.”
Hilton and Melanie Efune, Owners | Hilty’s Electric
“Hilty’s International Inc has had the opportunity of working with MT BUILDERS over the past 15 years on numerous projects. They are our preferred general contractors to work with as they simply stand out from the crowd. Working with MT Builders as a Trade Partner both, from the administrative side and in the field is professional, fair and their projects are extremely well run. They are the best of the best and we look forward to many continued years of working together.”
Bill Fettis, Partner | LIV Communities
“From the time LIV Communities entered the Phoenix market, MT Builders was there for us. We were an experienced developer, and had constructed thousands of multifamily units in Michigan, but were just getting our start in the West. We knew that there were significant differences in soils, materials, and schedule times, so we knew that we needed a very experienced multifamily general contractor to build LIV Communities class A product. MT Builders was just the builder that we needed to build one of the first projects after the downturn in the Valley. The project, Liv Avenida, was completed on time, under budget, and the quality was second to none.”
David Tinkelman, President | Encore Cabinets
“Encore Cabinets and its ownership group have had the privilege to work with MT Builders for nearly 30 years on a variety of multifamily housing projects and have always considered them to be extremely fair-minded in their approach and operate with the highest level of integrity. They are an organization that focuses on their people – from clients to subcontractors to their own employees – they take care of their own and their top-quality product is a direct result of that.”
Mark Larson, Partner | Marlin Mechanical Corporation
“Marlin Mechanical Corporation has been working with MT Builders since their inception and has been involved with both large and small projects.

“The pandemic and post-pandemic era have ushered in unprecedented challenges for the construction industry.

We consider MT Builders to be an industry leader in this regard – and we are thrilled to continue this successful partnership for many years to come!”
Bill Fettis, Partner | LIV Communities
“With all of this said, there is much more to MT Builders than just their excellent performance, it is their integrity. It is very rare that one can trust a contractor, like we do MT. And when you put performance, experience and trust together, you have a superior contractor! This is how we view Mike Tarver and his company, MT Builders. And this is why we continue to select this team to construct the IPA Liv projects.”
